Detail 01
10 in. diameter
Small for a frame drum, so pitch sits higher and the note decays quickly rather than ringing.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 10-inch frame drum, 3.5 inches deep, played with a mallet. Suited to drum circles, classrooms and sound work rather than kit playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drum circles where one hand holds and the other strikes
- Classroom and group sessions with mixed-ability players
- Sound and meditation work needing a steady, repeatable pulse
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after djembe or conga hand-drum articulation
- Anyone chasing deep low end — 10 inches stays mid-voiced
- Cutting through an amplified band without a microphone
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3.5 in. depth
Shallow shell adds a little body and gives your holding hand room behind the head.
Detail 03
Frame drum format
One hand carries it, the other strikes. No stand, no setup, packs flat in a bag.
Detail 04
Mallet-played, not hand-played
The beater does most of the tone shaping, so your mallet choice matters as much as the drum.
Detail 05
White head, no graphics
Plain surface takes a name or class label easily and stays neutral on stage.
Detail 06
$63.99
Entry tier. Buys you the drum itself, not a graduated set of sizes.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Choose a soft felt mallet deliberately — it shapes most of the tone
- 02Pressure from your holding hand bends pitch; expect a short learning curve
- 03Store it flat, away from heat and direct sun
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size is this drum?
10 inches across the head and 3.5 inches deep — a small, one-hand frame drum you can hold for a full session without fatigue.
02Do you play it with your hands?
It's built for a mallet. You can tap it with fingers, but the mallet gives the round, sustained note the drum is designed around.
03Is it hard for a beginner?
The basic stroke takes minutes. Controlling pitch with your holding hand behind the head is the part that takes practice.
04Can I tune it?
Pitch moves with room temperature and humidity, and with how hard your hand presses the head from behind. Plan around that rather than fighting it.
